Re: How much is a call boy cost these days?

Tough to say, as it's not my area. From what little I know, guys like your bf might still be in heavy demand in the pay-for-splay game, but they're also in heavy supply. Also, in general, the less attractive the client (physically and emotionally) the higher a price you can command. Pulling numbers out of my ass here, I think you might get $75-100 from some random guy at a bar if he was lonely, desperate, and financially solvent. You might get $200 out of one who was especially all three, but at that point, he's probably just ordering online instead of hoping against hope at a bar.

And I read nothing in the OP other than idle curiosity. I've wondered if I'd be able to make money sexually (no), or what I'd "order" if , say, I were given some sort of "gift card" for some escort service. I think it's the same thing.

Re: How much is a call boy cost these days?

Actually the going rate is in the 200 to 300 range. See rentboycom. The idea that gay call boys are there by desparation, runaways etc is a inaccurate stereotype. It may be true of females and street hustlers--which are largely a thing of the past-- but not, in my experience, of escorts, i.e. call boys. Call boys are literally not call boys. Call boys or escorts are more likely to be guys with alternatives available who choose escorting for the easy money, many on a long term professional basis. They choose it in part because, by their looks, body and dick they are able to command good money. Of course some guys are more like the stereotype, but few in my experience, and I have hired hundreds over the years.

Never rented any, but the few I've met fall into this category as well. Maybe they were hiding their desperation and/or heavy drug addiction extremely well when I talked to them. But they all seemed very down-to-earth, well-adjusted guys. The same way a guy with an aptitude with math can turn that into a lucrative career in accounting, so a good-looking guy with an affable personality and liberated view of sex can turn that into a lucrative gig as an escort.

The expense is lower, but the effect is to attract less professional escorts, and, in turn, less generous clients. Craigslist escorts do not have a good reputation. The fees charged by rentboy.com have a natural screening effect.

Re: How much is a call boy cost these days?

That's why I guessed $75. He wasn't looking to go on rentboy. He was looking to go hit on some lonely guy at the bar. Given that, I doubt the customer base would be looking to shell out $200-300 unless he was exceptionally hot, or they were exceptionally desperate.

CoughBullshitCough.

Although I can see it as some guys' only viable way of getting sex, I suppose.

No wonder though, that such people have such a fucked up view of societal relationships if they have commoditized sex to this extent.

Rentboy is probably $200-300 per hour. When I said $75, I was thinking your guy could offer some guy in the bar, "I'll get you off for $75." I assume that would involve his hand or mouth - his ass would presumably kick the price up. Chances are if he's any good, he won't need more than a couple minutes.

Re: How much is a call boy cost these days?

Well, most guys don't have the stamina, desire, or the demand to escort forty hours a week. It's usually more of a side gig for them - they may have a couple appointments a week, and it wouldn't be surprising if neither of them goes longer than an hour.

How much would a guy like him get for a night of everything? I'm guessing there's different levels. Where would he find potential clients?

During the discussion, we thought of those older guys that stand alone with a drink or beer bottle in gay bars. You always see them. Potential clients?

Bevolio is right. He's always right on this topic. I have the sense that none of the men who make generalizations about escorts has ever actually met an escort (or knew he was meeting an escort--it's a pretty stealth occupation--or know much about the business beyond a few stereotypical assumptions which may in some cases be true, but in the vast majority of cases are not at all. I think they'd be surprised how estimable a lot of these guys are.

BTW, 200 to 300 will get you an hour or two at the most, with exceptions of course. I once spent almost an entire night in conversation with a client. We fell asleep and never had sex at all that time, so we hooked up a week later vowing to only talk after the sex.
